    Aqualung LP (Steven Wilson or Peter Mew)?

    I have a needle-drop of Up To Me from Aqualung - i thought i heard some form of clipping in the singing. Just me or is it there? https://www.dropbox.com/s/7gpt4wzl2rsgkdt/Aqualung.wav?dl=0 i did some fiddling with the EQ in VLC, and i can get rid of it by altering some high frequencies. I guess...
